Glasgow dream for 'new museum' one step closer for community champions
A community-led board has been established, explains Louise Nolan of Make It Glasgow, a driving force behind the ambitious project. 'The plan is to have it open by 2029, so there is a long way to go but it's really exciting to have the board in place,' she says. Make It Glasgow founders Louise and Ruth Impey were given the Lord Provost's Special Recognition trophy at last year's Glasgow Community Champion Awards.

As the Glasgow Times, in association with Vertu and supported by Glasgow City Council and Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust, launches the 2025 awards, Louise says winning in 2024 was a fantastic boost. 'It has been a whirlwind of a year for us since then, the support and coverage it generated just opened so many doors for us,' she says. 'I think the awards plant the seeds in people's heads about what's really possible in this city." Louise adds: 'To be a member of the audience hearing about all these brilliant things that people are doing, quietly just getting on with it, was really amazing.'
